Dig a Little Deeper: R.Swaider Spring/Summer 2018 NYFW:M

Alexander Cao

Seemingly inspired by the blue-collar work of miners, the R.Swaider presentation showcased reworked uniforms in organic patterns and loose, comfortable shapes. Silhouettes were cut away from the body, a memorable example: the nude sheer blouse with black ribbon ties. The kimono jacket felt slightly gimmicky and out of place in 2017. However, the sharp aviator jacket with its minimal detailing and granite-like design was perfect. That and the blouse with the knotted neck were some of the best and most wearable takeaways of the collection. Though it wasn’t particularly memorable or groundbreaking, R. Swaider provided a collection that was, for the most part, pleasant and concise.
